Background Fractures of the distal femur (the far end of the thigh bone just above the knee)
are a considerable cause of morbidity. Various different surgical and non‐surgical …

Objective Through meta-analysis, this study aims to comprehensively evaluate the efficacy
of single-plating and double-plating in the treatment of comminuted fractures of the distal …

The purpose of this study was to assess the biomechanical contributions of the nail and the
plate individually to a complete nail‐plate construct in the setting of comminuted distal femur …

Introduction Repair of multiple lower extremity long bone fractures with intramedullary nail
(IMN) fixation is associated with significant cardiopulmonary burden and may result in …

In most low-and middle-income countries, trauma registries are uncommon. Although
institutional registries for all trauma patients are ideal, it can be more practical to institute …

Fractures of the distal femur occur in a bimodal age distribution. Many are complicated by
intra-articular extension and comminution. Periprosthetic fractures add to the complexity of …

Intramedullary nailing of periarticular lower extremity fractures is difficult, even in the hands
of skilled fracture surgeons who manage these injuries on a routine basis. The further …

Background The stiffness of locked plates suppresses healing process, prompting the
introduction of far cortical locking to address this issue. This study aimed to demonstrate the …

Purpose To underline the feasibility of achieving early weight bearing in patients with distal
end-segment femur fractures (AO/OTA 33) treated with retrograde intramedullary nailing and …

Introduction: the dynamic condylar screw (DCS) plate is an angular stable fixation (95)
system for distal femur fractures that allows for the ability to apply compression across the …
